Aldo Costa

Aldo Costa (born June 5, 1961, Parma, Italy) is currently Assistant Chief Designer at the Ferrari Formula One team.

Costa joined Ferrari in the mid-1990s before becoming assitant to the teams Chief Designer, Rory Byrne, in 1998. When Byrne announced in 2004 that he intended to retire from motor racing Costa was named as his sucessor. Byrne credited the design of the 2005 Ferrari to Costa.

Another Aldo Costa (born 1925?) is a Frenchman who believes in the possibility of perpetual motion. He spent five decades and more than $200,000 in building a giant wheel supposed to turn around indefinitely. However, he admits that it stalls after three hours. He nevertheless maintains that he has demonstrated a working principle and that the wheel would only need to be larger, but he is not allowed to build such a giant one.
